Makh:Iceland has launched an investigation into the mass death of tens of thousands of wild herring. One newspaper estimated the value of the dead fish to be almost $10 million.

Hmm, so let's say 30k fishes is in the tens of thousands, that comes to 333 dollars per herring for that value. Math much, newspaper?

They link to Yahoo, which makes more sense:The Morgunbladid newspaper estimated the value of the 10,000 tons of fish found dead this week at 1.25 billion kronur ($9.8 million). An even larger number of fish died in December.

When I arrived at my host family's home in Germany, back on an exchange in high school, they had pickled herring and warm Coke set out to welcome me. Gaaaaah. And sat there and stared at me while I had to eat and drink it. Then they gave me a beer, God bless 'em.
